Summary: Unlikely premise
Comment: At long last Annie Laurance and Max Darling are married, in a ceremony which is a compromise between Max's mother Laurel's "far-out" ideas and Annie's desire for a simple, dignified ceremony. That all rings true, but what happens next does not. A murder is committed and a likely suspect disappears and suddenly the inhabitants of the island are enticed into a city of tents, divided up into men's and women's quarters from which they are to launch a search for a missing woman. It is difficult to imagine that such a thing would happen (why can't they search during the day and stay in their own homes at night?) and even more difficult to believe that a newly-married couple would fall for such a scheme. Max's mother Laurel provides some comic relief in the book, but her occult-loving friend Ophelia is a just a bit over the top. Let's come back down to earth, Mrs. Hart, and return to the formula which made you successful, the Agatha Christie-like mystery solved by the deductive reasoning of the heroine. Annie's solution to the case comes as almost a minor event compared to the other things which are going on in the book.

Summary: One wedding, one murder, one missing and one abduction
Comment: This is the fourth book in Carolyn Hart's "Death on Demand" series. As with the other books in the series, it's full of references to fictional sluethes (all pre-1988 but still fun for mystery fans). Annie and Max finally get married. Before they can honeymoon, Annie's assistant Ingrid is abducted and a dead man is found in her house. The resulting search is so far fetched as to be a farce in many ways.
This isn't one of Hart's best books. My primary peeve is that she forshadows the murderer early and often. Also, for a book with the word "Honeymoon" in the title, there's very little romance. I'm also getting really tired of the character of Posey. Annie deserves a more worthy adversary.
Rating: 2
Summary: Not her best
Comment: I normally love the Death on Demand series. But I didn't really like this book. I wanted to like it. But it didn't hold my interest. I have to admit I skimmed parts and read the end.
